Trip Through Time - Academy Awards
Back in the summer of 2002, I began a journey through movies by way of the Academy Awards. After completing the American Film Institute's orignal Top 100 list, I decided that I would watch every film ever nominated for an Oscar. I didn't realize what such a huge undertaking meant or how long it would take, but I did know I had to watch a lot of movies. I didn't include all of the winners or the other movies I'd seen before, that would just take up more time than I had and I'd already seen them all just two or three years prior to this. This blog gives you my ranking and grade for every film nominated for an Oscar at the Academy Awards. I've made it only to Supporting Actress and I'm working on that now, so you'll have to bear with me. I've been working on this for six years now, so it will be a while before I'm completely finished.
